Did you move your certificates as well as the OVPN file to your GFs laptop?

Are you running it as admin?

thankyou for your reply, I indeed moved all of the certificating files into the config folder:

ca.crt

client.crt

client.key

client1.ovpn

I also ran it as administrator thankyou I forgot to mention that

I have never had the crts and key files without file locations in the OVPN.  Maybe that makes a difference? 

 

For example, I would have them as:

ca "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\ca.crt"

cert "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\client.crt"
key "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\client.key"

 

ALSO, I noticed you named the crt and key "client".  Did you set your clients to be used on more than one computer at once?  If so, if its enabled already on another computer, your GFs computer won't connect.

 

For my VPN setup, I have different sets of files for each computer.

You can't just create different OVPN files and expect them to work with the set of client crts and keys.

No, Ive trying on multiply pc's. i just want to get it done on 1 pc, i am not connecting to the vpn on more devices, I know u can only have 1 active session but to make it clear i am on my own laptop at my girlfriends place. thank you for your response

I pasted the original files in the config folder, untouched, directly exported them from my router.

Oh my mistake.  I have never setup a OpenVPN server via a router.  Always have had a PC as a server.

yee I wish it was like that haha, I also got a server and that one works great. this is just pure hassle, but the servers costs me 60 euro a year and a home VPN would be cheaper and more realible :D

Try this maybe:

 

client

dev tap
proto udp
dev-node NETGEAR-VPN
remote timverdonschot.mynetgear.com 12974
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun

ca "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\ca.crt"

cert "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\client.crt"

key "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\client.key"
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo

Thanksgiving is the best <3

 

So, to recap.  I don't know the router OpenVPN setups that well.  How can we be sure it is setup correctly on that side of things?

there's a wizard when u activate VPN services, it tells you to install OpenVPN, activate the VPN service on the router. setup a DDNS on the router I also did that I registered it on the NETGEAR DNS with my own account, I then installed OpenVPN 2.3.8 on my laptop, downloaded the config files from my router and imported them in my config folder from OpenVPN, I renamed the wireless tap adapter to "NETGEAR-VPN" and ran OpenVPN GUI as administrator. thats everything I should have done, the only thing they mention is setup a static IP or a DDNS in this case ive setten up a DDNS but if I can't find a solution imma call my ISP to change my public IP to an static one
